Scottish musician John Martyn started his musical career at the tender age of 17, and has been releasing albums ever since the the late 60s. His career has been a mix of sheer brilliance and alcohol fueled failure.

Over his career, he has developed his music substantially, both in terms of his ever-evolving voice and his backslap accoustic guitar playing.

Although he is not well-publicised in the international world and has always struggled to break into the mainstream pop culture, he has still been an influential figure in British Folk and rock.
